No one knows where the name “McAllister” comes from, although there was a McAllister School nearby. There is no road to the fenced-in cemetery; it can be reached through the pasture from the house driveway. At one time there was a more direct lane, but the road was washed out. (A Dr. B.R. McAllister of Decatur County, practiced in Leon.)
